I made a little sample movie of 9 year old Rino's morning routine, from waking up to going to school.
I would like to do this in different countries.

Rino's ideas;
Through this project Rino hopes to make friends all over the world.

FLORAL DESIGNERHANS HAVERKAMP


I get a phone call from my friend Hans.
Hans is a floral artist who gives demonstrations all over the world and produces some amazing creations.
I tell Hans about my travel / movie making plan. Hans is very enthusiastic. He suggest to make something and send it back to the previous school.

Hans tells me to focus on:
- Making connections between different cultures
- Showing different cultural aspects.
- Get the media involved. For me it might be difficult to get permission to video children but for the official media it will be much easier.

TEKU TEKU TREE AROUND THE WORLD


I meet up with Roger.
His suggestion;
- Divide a tree up in parts.
- Have the kids in the different countries create one part of the tre
- Together they will form a tree.
- He likes to focus the eco messages on the benefits of trees.

DAIMYO ELEMENTARY SCHOOL

I go to Daimyo elementary school where I talk with Kinoshita about my plan, hie is enthusiastic.

Kinoshita suggestions:
-It should be group 3 and 4.( 8~10 years old)
-During my travel he wants to keep in contact, make my travel part of the kids curriculum

ECO POSTER CHALLENGE TRIAL MOVIE


The idea would be to have 1 class make 1 poster together on an eco topic. In the movie I would put the poster somewhere in the street view and kids could act inside the poster.

ARTIST SUSAN ROBB

I met Susan Robb 2 years ago in Seattle.
. At that time she was making an art installation called Toobs. I helped her setting up the toobes.
Susan is an artist who often makes art with a an environmental message. She also is an adjunct Professor, at the University of Washington, Seattle.
I spoke with Susan about my Project plan.

Susan tells me :
-It will be difficult to film children.( getting the permission )
-start trying things out.
-Think of my final goal.

ENVIRONMENTAL & SUSTAINABILITY ENGINEERING STUDENT ROGER SOARES

( This poster my trial)


I speak with Roger and he has the following idea:

Worldwide Youth ECO Poster Challenge
Concept: To create a unique idea that reflects both local and cultural
values/ideas.
Task: Students with help of their teacher are to create a poster that
demonstrates how to solve some local environmental problem.
Requirements: Teachers need a large poster like paper and some
coloring tools (markers, paint, etc.)
- Students in should create one poster per school
- Poster project should be an after school event not requiring more than a few hours total
Summary: Poster will be represented in a worldwide collage in
a video. *Students with parental permission may be allowed to be in the video.

Let me know what you think of this concept. This would be simple and would require
very little time and resources by the teachers/schools and would also be simple and focused.

MOVIE NIGHT THE ELEVENTH HOUR


Organizer; Roger Soares
More people showed up then expected.
It was a fruitful night with a little feedback session after watching the movie.

VISUAL ARTIST LAYNE WAEREA

I met Layne in Fukuoka Japan where she would organize art events. Now Layne lives in New Zealand and works as a Lecturer at Auckland University of Technology.
Layne tells me:
- I need a clear mission
- Most teachers are busy so should keep it simple and easy to do
- Shouldn’t plan it too much in detail its more creative to let it flow naturally

EARTH

Getting inspiration from my Kindergarten students.
